Hi,

I haven't had any issues with bluetooth or waking up from suspended for
a call (haven't tried sms before). However, my issues are:

- echo is back. With echo I mean when somebody else is calling you on
your freerunner and they hear everything they say themselves. This in
fact is so loud that the freerunner is unusable as a phone. Maybe that
alsa controls can help here, but I don't seem to be able to find the
alsa state files on qtextended.
- alarm doesn't sound on time when the phone is suspended. The phone
unsuspends right on time, but no alarm is played/shown (but it does
after a while if you keep the phone unsuspended). Probably this has to
do with the alarm already being overdue when the phone finishes
unsuspending. Being somebody who doesn't own a separate alarm clock,
this is a must-have function for me.

For the empty battery icon: install the latest webster kernel found at
http://moko.mwester.net/dl.html#kernels , this kernel fixes at least
that and maybe even the bluetooth issues.
